“You didn’t have to do all that s – – -,” the individual says as he’s being positioned in a police SUV.
An officer then slams the door on him. A short while later, a police manager asks what the one that was once detained did and officials are not able to supply a solution.
“You just said he was involved,” the manager says, obviously at a loss for words.
After an officer tells the one that was once detained to “relax” so they may be able to “figure this all out,” he calls the cop “a b – – – -.”
“Yeah, I’m a b – – – -,” any other officer shoots again. “Yeah, I’m Black as hell. I’m Black as the ace of spades, motherf – – – – -.”

“I’ll make this right. I didn’t mean to do that … I ain’t trying to do motherf – – – – – – wrong,” the officer says.
When the officer asks for the detainee’s identify, the video obscures it with a protracted beep.
